Trey Hendrickson Responds to Ravens Coach After Bengals’ 35-13 Win

The Bengals turned a 13-0 deficit into a 35-13 win over the Ravens, and Baltimore’s defense was left answering for the second-half collapse.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter criticized the defense’s performance, with reports differing on whether he specifically called it a “bad effort.” Trey Hendrickson pushed back on the effort question after the game.

“I can’t speak for everybody else, but there is a standard to the way we should prepare, and nobody should be having these side conversations on the sidelines, if there is any,” Hendrickson said.

He added: “I go out there with everything I’ve got every play and the will to win is not out of my lungs. Our standard for our defense has been set. It’s now on us to elevate that to get to that level.”

Cincinnati gave the Ravens plenty to answer for. Joe Burrow threw four touchdown passes after halftime as the Bengals’ offense took control and completed the comeback at M&T Bank Stadium.
